DIR. SMITHS HrsroR1cAL STUDIES.


Rev. Justin A. Smith, D. D., editor of the
Standard, the Baptist newspaper of this city,
is the author of a volume of Studies in Mod
err, Church History, recently published in
New Haven, Conn. These studies are sixteen
in number, and we're originally delivered as
lectures to the senior class in the Baptist
Theological Seminary at Morgan Park. DIR.
Smith begins his work at the Reformation,
and traces the progress of the church from
that period down to the time of Wesley and
Whitefeld, following with review of the
several denominations and closing with a
chapter on " Modern E vangelism." In the
authors opinion the Reformation was more
than reformation was in fact Rev.
olutioD; that o1t of it have come those
elements in modern life which peculiarly
characterize it and which set this modern Pc
Rod apart in the history of m ankind in what
most concerns human progress" 1t is with
this estimate of the great movement of the
sixteenth century that the author deals; and
in working up his plan, he passes in review the
several forms of skepticism which appeared
in the last century, and briefly considers
modern systems of unbelief in connection
with the progress of the Christian church.
Three of the lectures are devoted to the Re-
formation. He discusses On its civilization
and intellectual progress (2) the Reforma-
ton as revival of Spiritual religion; and ~
as to systems of Christian doctrine. Calvin
ism is considered in four lectures: (D AS
religion and philosophy (2) in literature
and science; (3) its representative historical
character; and az its national and social re-
lations. We cannot agree with our authors
estimate of Calvinism. He sees too much to
admire in the system. There are also many
points in the lectures on UNCONVENTIONAL
ism" and " Modern Skepticism" which chal-
lenge dissent. But Notwithstanding substan-
tial Attachments these lectures can be read
with pleasure by adherents of all forms of
Protestant thought. DIR. Smiths spirit is
eminently candid and catholic; and if he
trips occasionally in outlining the liberal be-
liefs, he is plainly not influenced by any base
sectarian purpose. We rate his volume high
ly and find much in it to approve. DIR.
Smith has been a careful student of church
history, and writes from fdlness of knowl-
edge which few students can approximate.
He has generally strong grasp of the sub
jeet he discusses and is we'll acquainted with
its literature. Hence his lectures are en-
riched by quotation and made specially val
liable by fine literary treatment. In wealth
of reference and information the volume re-
sembles those works of modern English
scholars in which history is SO finely pop
larized, and "studies" made to include the
results of a lifetime of thought and investi-
cation. In such an extended survey, we can
not expect to always agree with the conclu-
sions of the author; but the intelligent reader
will follow his successive chapters pleased to
be in the company of 80 we'll furnished and
intelligent guide. New Haven, Conn.

Buchtel College began its sixteenth year
this week, and although all the stu dents have
not yet arrived, the number already regis
tered assures a large attendance for the year.
The number of new students so far is forty
one, while the total number is 1913. This by
no means indicates the number of students
in attendance, as many of the old students
neglect to register. The freshman class
numbers twenty three, and several more will
enter the class soon. In talking with one of
the military enthusiasts the other day, Bea-
CON reporter learned of new feature in con-
nection with the college battalion. Arrange
ments are being M de to have an instructor
appointed at Buchtel by the government.
But few institutions of the State have been
able to secure such appointment, and if sue
cessful, Buchtel may well feel proud of her
reputation as wide-awake, thorough insti-
tuition, for only in such institutions are mill
tary instructors placed. This, with the ele-
CANT gymnasium, rapidly assuming material
shape, thoroughly equips another depart
ment of Buchtels manifold advantages for
developing the intellectual and physical
man. In talking with one of Buchtel's in
genious and versatile lore seekers, the reporter
was informed of the consummation of long
cherished hope among the unsteady inclined
at Buchtel. For year or more an embryo
orchestra has been gradually gaining strength
and efficiency, and but for the lack of
some of the important parts would have
been very creditable organization. Among
the new students several excellent musicians
have been discovered, the absent parts have
been supplied and college orchestra, of no
mean ability, will be but question of a
short time. An instructor will be engaged
and nothing but the finest music handled.
These facts are mentioned because indica-
tive of healthful growing institution, and
one which promises much in the future.

Through the Gates of Gold, published
anonymously some months ago by Roberts
Brothers, Boston, is now revealed as the work
of Mabel Collins, AN English writer. As nearly
as we can get at the purposeof the writer, it
is an attempt to solve the mysteries of life
by unfolding the law of progress which finds
its ultimatum in the intelligent development
of nature and the subsection of the animal to
the spiritual. The work is termed by the au-
thor "a fragment" but of what it is a frag-

cinated as with fairy tales of
daring adventures and thrilling
Incidents; and as you follow
the noble hero upon the stage
of mature life, the varied scenes
and touching acts are all real
and replete with striking his
tory. No other than a master
artist could have painted such
a word-picture. 1t is just such
a one as we would have the re-
ligious and cultured world look
upon. It's central figure is grand,

in the Resurrection Life !? etc.
The author bases his argument
on the Scriptures throughout;
and unfolds his conclusions in
the luminous light of the in
spired Record. incidentally he
shows the impotence of much
of the speculation and philoso-
ply entertained at the present
day. The book has grown out
of DIR. Quinbys work as an ed
itor in answering in the columns
of his newspaper the questions
of correspondents anxious to
learn the views of Universalists
on the subject of the Resurrec-
ton Life. Written in a clear,
direct and familiar style, it
meets a very general want, and
will build up it's readers in the
faith and hope of the New Tes-
lament.
